Venturing through several winding alleys, Chen Fei arrived at a carpenters shop. There, he requested a custom-made cabinet with dimensions close to one cubic meter. The cabinet was designed to have multiple compartments, each equipped with a drawer or a small door.

It can be done, but if you need it by tomorrow, the final product may be a bit rough, the carpenter warned with a smile.

Thats alright. As long as it meets the other specifications, its fine, Chen Fei replied, undeterred by the prospect of a rough finish.

Very well, then theres no issue, the carpenter agreed, nodding in understanding.

Chen Fei left a deposit for the carpenters services before turning to depart from the shop.

Chen Fei remained unsure whether his idea for the wooden cabinet would come to fruition until he could test it out the following day. With a busy schedule ahead, he wanted to return home promptly. Perfecting his archery skills and refining medicinal pills occupied much of his time.

However, as he traversed a few alleys, a faint frown appeared on Chen Feis face. Despite the unease, he continued walking without stopping.

..

Once Chen Fei vanished from sight at the end of the alley, a figure cautiously looked around before quietly following in his footsteps. However, upon turning into the alley, Chen Feis figure was nowhere to be found.

The figure was taken aback and prepared to give chase, but he soon noticed a dark figure emerging behind him.

Why are you following me? Chen Feis voice echoed, causing the persons body to freeze. The figure turned around slowly, facing Chen Fei.

Following you? I was just pa.s.sing by, the figure replied, feigning innocence.

Chen Fei remained silent, studying the person in front of him. After a moments observation, his eyebrows raised slightly. Dan Xiang, is that you?

Surprised, Dan Xiang asked, How did you recognize me?

Dan Xiang couldnt help but let slip her surprise, immediately covering her mouth in annoyance. She appeared slightly irritated by her own slip-up.

Why are you looking for me? Chen Fei asked, his gaze fixed on Dan Xiang. Despite her attempt to disguise herself, her figure remained relatively unchanged. Moreover, the technique used for her disguise was ordinary, allowing Chen Fei to see through it almost instantly.

Feeling a twinge of annoyance at her earlier slip-up, Dan Xiang responded in an unhappy tone, Do you even acknowledge the Zhang familys efforts in nurturing you? Cultivate? Chen Fei repeated, his expression showing a mix of confusion and curiosity.

Chen Fei found himself taken aback by Dan Xiangs mention of cultivation. Prior to the destruction of the Zhang Family, their relations.h.i.+p had been one of cooperation, even with the denial of the Light Spirit Pill formula. The rewards he had received for his cultivation methods were typically exchanged with merit points.

However, there were exceptions. For instance, they had provided daily ingredients for the Qi Rejuvenation pill, which Chen Fei would refine.

Did Zhang Sinan send you? Chen Fei asked, his voice low and filled with suspicion. He had recently gathered some knowledge about the events surrounding the Zhang familys destruction. While most of the direct descendants had perished, it was uncertain if the Zhang family had received any prior notice, allowing certain individuals to escape. Zhang Sinan could have been one of them.

Knowing that the Zhao family still harbored intentions to eliminate any remaining direct descendants of the Zhang family, Chen Fei realized that those individuals had likely already left Pingyin County. The Zhao family had been unable to find an opportunity to carry out their plans.

Miss Zhang is no longer in the county. What are you thinking? Dan Xiang responded, avoiding direct eye contact.

Then why did you specifically come looking for me? Chen Fei let out a sigh. Given Dan Xiangs behavior and the fact that he had seen through her disguise, it was clear that something was amiss.

Considering the behavior of those a.s.sociated with Zhang Sinan, it seemed unlikely that this group of people would succeed in their endeavors. Nevertheless, whether they succeeded or not held little significance for Chen Fei, as he had no desire to become involved. There were few items in Zhang Sinans possession that interested him, and it was unlikely that he would receive the only inner strength cultivation technique from them.

We are in need of antidote pills and healing pills, Dan Xiang stated, lifting her head to meet Chen Feis gaze. You possess the knowledge to refine these two types of medicinal pills.

Currently, the Zhao family has given me heavy responsibilities each day, leaving me with little free time, Chen Fei responded, expressing his constraints.

Chen Fei pondered for a moment before responding, I can only provide a small quant.i.ty of these two medicinal pills.

Dan Xiang smiled and replied, Thats all 1 ask for.

Chen Fei then inquired, Where are the herbs? How do you plan to provide them to me?

We dont have any medicinal herbs. Can you figure out a way to gather them? Dan Xiang admitted, causing Chen Feis eyes to widen in disbelief. He couldnt believe that this group of people expected to receive something for nothing. He had been willing to help with the refinement, but they hadnt even bothered to prepare the necessary medicinal ingredients.

With the medicine shop no longer selling medicinal herbs, it appeared that Dan Xiang expected Chen Fei to ask the Zhao family for the required ingredients. Chen Fei couldnt help but feel taken advantage of, as if Zhang Sinan and the others viewed him as a fool.

I apologize, but it seems that 1 cannot a.s.sist you with this, Chen Fei stated, bowing slightly before turning to leave. He made the decision not to involve himself with individuals who maintained their arrogant and ent.i.tled att.i.tudes.

You How ungrateful! Dan Xiang exclaimed in anger, watching as Chen Fei walked away, her frustration evident in her curse.

Chen Fei continued on his way without stopping, allowing a chuckle to escape his lips. As he had antic.i.p.ated, some people were simply unreasonable and lived in their own delusional world.

Upon returning to his courtyard, Chen Fei resumed his routine of refining pills, cultivating, and increasing his proficiency. However, when night fell, he decided against going to the black market. Ling Hanjuns presence had left him unsettled, uncertain of what actions such a person might take. Although suspicion had not yet fallen upon him, Chen Fei believed it was safer to avoid any potential encounters.

Fortunately, the lack of black market transactions for a few days did not significantly impact the sale of his pills.

The following morning, Chen Fei retrieved the custom-made wooden cabinet from the carpenters shop. Adding a little extra payment, he arranged for the carpenter to deliver the goods directly to his doorstep.

Once the carpenters had left, Chen Fei cautiously opened a few drawers of the wooden cabinet and carefully placed medicine bottles and herbs inside. He made sure to push the drawers back in without leaving any gaps.

Nervously, Chen Fei observed the wooden cabinet. Using his mental focus, he guided it, causing the entire cabinet to vanish and reappear within the s.p.a.ce grid.

Its possible! Chen Fei couldnt help but smile, pleased with the successful outcome of the first step. However, the experiment was not yet complete. The next attempt would be the crucial one.

Within the spae grid, Chen Fei used his mind to pull out one of the drawers from the wooden cabinet. As a gap appeared, the medicinal herbs stored inside the drawer disappeared and reappeared in Chen Feis hand.

Excellent! Chen Fei exclaimed, his excitement evident.

Filled with joy, Chen Fei experienced genuine happiness. The expected functionality of the spatial grid had been fully realized, bringing him a sense of accomplishment.

Through the gap created by the open drawer, Chen Fei could see that there were other items within the spatial grid. With this confirmation, he made the decision to exit the spatial grid.

Though it may sound complex, all it took was a simple thought.

However, Chen Fei quickly realized that he couldnt send the herbs back into the spatial grid individually. Instead, he had to summon the entire cabinet, enabling him to place the herbs back inside.

Although it was not yet a fully versatile storage s.p.a.ce, Chen Fei was still satisfied with the functionality he had achieved. With his design, the s.p.a.ce grid could already store a considerable amount of items.

Chen Fei summoned the wooden cabinet and carefully arranged various items in the drawers according to his predetermined plan. He even allocated a relatively large s.p.a.ce within the cabinet specifically for storing the bow and arrows.

I no longer have to worry about running out of storage s.p.a.ce for my pills, Chen Fei remarked with a sense of relief.

Half an hour later, the Zhao family arrived. Zhao Xia delivered the news that Elder Zeng was seriously injured and would be unable to refine the Light Spirit Pill for a while. As a result, the pill a.s.signment given to Chen Fei would carry even greater importance. Zhao Xia then offered in a low voice, If you have any requests, please let me know. I can report them back to the family..
